Boots of Lord Fairfax traced through Winchester families
A history of top boots owned by Lord Fairfax and passed among Winchester figures traces through four generations. William C. Kennerly recalled, from a 1870 tale told by Dr. Robert Baldwin, that Fairfax left his boots at the Macky home after illness. They later passed to Mrs. Tidball and were given or devised within the Macky family, with confusion about their donation to the Virginia Historical Society.
